    changing from ntfs to ext3 [SOLVED]

    Hello,

    What are the steps to do this?
    I have installed gparted, so I can reformat to ext3.
    After that what do I do?

    How do I change the entry in fstab and do I have to do more like mkdir in /media ?
    Basically, how do you mount the now ext3 drive to be used again.

    Thanks.

    Ps I'm reading a lot of posts about trying to keep the data, I do not need that, I have everything backup up, I just want to change the filesystem / do a format (and copy files back).

    Strangely I can't find any howto's on this. It's 'simply' adding a new drive to a machine after it has been formatted as ext3.
    Edit, found something here: http://www.xawk.com/ubuntu-add-hard-drive.html

    Done, was a piece of cake it turned out..
